Bridge in Bath

Pulteney Bridge

Pulteney Bridge is one of only four bridges in the world lined with shops on both sides, spanning the River Avon with a classical facade. Free to cross. The view from the downstream side, with the horseshoe weir below the bridge, is one of the most photographed scenes in Bath. Budget travelers cross the bridge, walk down to the river level, and photograph it from Parade Gardens (small fee) or from the public path (free).
